Is there any apps/hacks that can allow the user to use the volume button (or any hardkeys) as the camer shutter? Thanks

Not sure for the stock camera but if you don't mind using another camera app Vignette (which I much prefer to the stock camera) lets you use the volume button or the search button for the shutter. Sure other similar apps would do the same.

i was just about to request this myself lol (slightly ios5 inspired, not gonna lie lol).
i hate how hard it is it correctly target the shutter button on the touchscreen while not looking. would be handy to have one of the volumes to focus and one to shoot!

Hey Guys,
is there any way to for instance chance the button with which you take pics on the HD, I have been taking pictures in the normal way but prefer to use the side buttons or another button on the bottom.
Help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Agreed ... is there any software that could do this. Heard software such as AE button could reconfig the buttons but cld these be done for the HD, would be really useful and less awkward then the touch screen in my opinion

Hmmm - I have AEButton Plus and I have not previously played with the camera and this button mapper.
I have the volume buttons mapped. BUT, in the camera application it seems that AEB+ is no longer able to trap the volume buttons. It looks like HTC have switched off the volume buttons in the camera application.
When I exit from the camera then the AEB+ mapping works fine.
so it is not possible to reassign other buttons to this purpose? too bad, thanks for the help and please let me know if you find anything!
actually it is possible to reassign volume up to Enter (with aebplus/aebutton plus) and use it in the touch hd camera app. Well... at least it used to work for me for some weeks. Now I have exactly the same problem and don't know what could have changed.
Strange thing is: When I unmap volume up in aebplus, do a soft reset, remap the button (with some luck) I can take exactly one picture - afterwards it is simply ignored.
really strange behaviour but it shows that there IS a way to keep the camera app from grabbing keys...
I did it Application released soon!

With the insanely fast work of the developers it's now possible to record video in 720p! The only problem is the lack of a physical button on the HD2.
I was wondering if it were possible to map the recording button to one of the volume buttons on the rocker. I know retrocamera allows custom mapping but I have no idea how difficult it might be in this case. Is it possible?
And thank you developers for your insanely awesome hard work!

Yes in the latest froyo roms 72o p works and seems to be fast , but the only missing thing is the button , (like sitting infront of a beautiful cake but cannot touch it )
Would it be possible to map it to long press of home because thats kind of a useless function for the most part anyway.

Not for the most part, but, it'll be ok for the camcorder
I'm pretty sure the action is DPAD_CENTER. If you could bind that to a button or something it should do the job for hitting the trackball. Pressing and holding Homekey to do a trackball click would be ideal IMO if it's possible.
Nothing at all works when I try and open the camcorder.
I can take photos fine, but the second i switch to video its a force close
Any update on this? Would be fun to see if 720p video recording in Froyo would work.
After about month of using my dinc, I've found that I literally never press the opti trackpad button. Is there any way to make this button act as a dedicated camera button (or to set it up to launch a specific app). I've done no customization to my phone thus far (waiting on a stable froyo custom ROM), but I have no problem with rooting or installing a custom ROM in order to get this functionality. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd love to reclaim this currently useless button.
Download Vignette from the market and you can set your trackpad to take pics or you can even tap the screen to take a photo.
I think morph2k4 is talking about having the button work even when you're not in a camera app. So the idea would be, any time you press that button, it would either take a picture or open a camera app. With Vignette, that button only works when you already have the app open.
Exactly right, I want to make that button load up my camera app from anywhere.
You should take this to the development forum, they might be able to help.
Hi guys,
so, do you know of any trick or mod or app to do that?
I mean when taking a picture to use a hardware button?
Thanks.
There was an app for this on WinMo, you could use the volume buttons to take a photo instead.
I'd love to see this for Android (would it be phone specific? Not universal? If its even possible)

Third party camera apps allow you to assign a hardware button (RetroCamera lets you use either vol-up or vol-down). But I haven't seen the ability to have the built-in camera app assign a hardware shutter release.
I will try that one see how it works.
Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!
Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.
I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

Yes it is
Go do a search on the forum for buttonremapper (or the market if you'd like to help and donate)

I am using my volume rockers as camera
This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!
